56F8357: Can't rebuild existing project from scratch -- get xdata overflow.

[mel]

I am using Codewarrior 7.3  -- 56F8357. I have be built and been debugging a project using project expert for months.  I need to make another project that is a variation of the first.  I copied full project to new directory, created a new project name and project expert, imported the beans from old project, used old project cpu template added files from old project, renamed "main" file to new project name -- all should be good right?  I keep getting segment overflow .xdata.  Does anyone have a clue?  It won;t build a map file with this error.  I have made no code changes so it must be in the configuration.  This is annoying. I am sure its a configuration hidden in the settings area -- but how do I find it.  Is there an easier way to "copy" a project? Thanks. M.E.

Try the following steps to duplicate a project:

1) Make a copy of the directory that contains all of the Codewarrior project files. Let's say the original directory was "test1" and the copy is named "test2".

2) Go into the test2 directory and delete the subdirectory test1_Data. This contains certain file path information and other settings. By deleting this directory, you force the IDE to reconstruct some of this data. Most of your panel settings should be preserved.

3) Rename the CW project file test1.mcp to test2.mcp.

4) Launch the IDE. Now select:

Project | Remove Object Code...
Project | Reset Project Entry Paths
Project | Re-search for Files

This has the IDE search for this information in your new test2 directory.

5) Try building the project (Project | Make).

You may want to check some of the settings panels to change the name of your output file, but only worry about this after you get a successful build. HTH.
